@Flametrav: it is not something I could personally do. I would have to ask others about it. In the meantime, the armoured hilux and pickups are only on militia factions. Army and Police variants should not spawn any armour at all. You can place one of them and swap the skins to one you want and the armour wont appear.

@Evrik
can we get a setting to disable 3CB armor / component randomization on hiluxes and the like?
I just managed by just reverting everything but would like a simpler solution

@shurelia: sure, if someone could write one and donate it. Not something I can do unfortunately.

Is it possible to add a suicide attack script to the Shahed-136?

@Evrik When I say dynamic, I mean that it can maintain its calibration to the trajectory of bullets, missiles, and bombs despite the aircraft's movement, just like it works in the MiG-21 from the S.O.G. Prairie Fire DLC.

PS: Sorry for the late reply; I hadn't been checking this site.

@3cb.mods I don't know where to report mod issues, but I'll post here, hoping the author will notice.
I'm having trouble launching the game with this mod. I've tried reinstalling it, but the problem is still the same. Before launching the mod, the game freezes on the "initializing mods" prompt, and the loading process simply freezes and the game crashes, even though I was playing with it just yesterday.

@YuriVII: Thanks for the kind words. That was the plan when I started it for the 3cb mission makers way back when. Not everyone agrees with keeping it as one mod, i.e. the pack size, but I cant please everyone. I am trying to find solutions to the load times.
YuriVII Dec 26, 2025 @ 4:23pm 
omfg this mod is so extensive. Every now and again I do a challenge....to portray a rl army soldier kit from different countries just with 3cb!
I've done Austrians, Australians (I got a thing for the Aug), Israeli's from Yom Kippur War, Modern Argentine Marines, Falklands-era Argentines and British, WW2 Finnish and more!
I dont have to get a million different modpacks.

3cb factions really is ARMA's "everything mod" from Cold War to the contemporary era.

@hirschi: I think it is just an error in the scroll over text. The magazine should hold 100 rounds in game. I'll sort out the text in a hotfix.
Hirschi Dec 25, 2025 @ 12:36pm 
why are the 100-Round Drums for te RPD only 75-Rounders? Am I missing something?
